Configure Google Form submission notifications

Yet Another Mail Merge is great to send emails upon form submissions as your email templates are standard drafts in Gmail (meaning that you can easily use an alias, add cc, bcc, attachments, inline images, etc.). Follow the instructions below to configure your form submission notifications.

Configure notifications on Google Form submission with YAMM

Link a form to your spreadsheet

First, be sure that a Google Form is linked to your spreadsheet. If it's not the case, please check Google documentation to know how to do so.

Open the form configuration menu in Yet Another Mail Merge

Once you have correctly linked a Google Form to your spreadsheet, you should see a new menu 'Configure form submission notifications' in Yet Another Mail Merge.

If it doesn't appear, but you can see the 'Form' menu, simply close and reopen your spreadsheet to load properly the add-on menu.

Choose the options that you want

Option 1: Notify one or more addresses of all responses

The email will be sent to the address(es) you put in the recipients field of the Gmail draft.

Option 2: Notify address submitted by the form

The emails will be sent to the addresses submitted within the form. In that case, leave the recipients field empty in the Gmail draft, and select the recipients email addresses column from your responses spreadsheet.

Or choose both options

You can also notify one or more recipients of all responses (in that case, put the email addresses directly in your Gmail draft), and at the same time, notify the email addresses submitted by the form.

How to deactivate this option?

If you want to disable these notifications on form submit, open the notification rules sidebar again (Add-ons > Yet Another Mail Merge > Configure form submission notifications), and uncheck both options:

Don't forget to click 'Save' and YAMM will stop sending emails after each form submission.
